Return of the Crowned Heiress (Felicia)
Return of the Crowned Heiress Chapter 386

Chapter 386

Plus, Felicia had previously been in Maurice’s car…

As she was lost in thought, she saw Stephan take a long stride, bypassing her and walking

away.

“Stephan!”

Johanna’s voice rang out at the end of the corridor, filled with joy and bashfulness.

Felicia was led into the elevator by Maurice.

As the elevator doors closed, she saw Stephan approaching Johanna, beaming with a bright, sweet smile that was radiant and captivating.

“Hey, feeling upset?”

Maurice’s teasing voice came from beside her during the slow ascent of the elevator, filled with sarcasm.

She ignored him.

Once aboard the helicopter, it slowly took off, heading toward Ablil.

At the end of the corridor on the hospital’s eighth floor, Johanna rushed toward Stephan but stopped a few steps away when she saw his brow furrow in displeasure.

“Stephan…”

She looked a bit aggrieved. She was the only one who had been willing to chase after him, even when he lost his mind, speeding and crashing in a car accident. She had no regrets.

In fact, she saw it as an opportunity. Otherwise, how could she make him feel guilty? She wasn’t seriously hurt and was rushed to the hospital in time. She only had a mild concussion and some cuts and bruises.

All of her wounds had been treated with the best medicine available.

Biting her lip, she reached out to tug at his clothes, her voice tinged with a pitiful tone, Stephan, I’m feeling dizzy…”

Stephan gave a silent look to his subordinate. “Call the doctor.”

Johanna was speechless.

The doctor arrived quickly and, after examining her, confirmed it was a mild concussion with some lingering dizziness and advised her to rest.

So, she had to rest on the bed.

Stephan stood by the window, gazing out at the distance, his thoughts seemingly elsewhere.

She racked her brain for a topic and was just about to speak when she saw him turn around. His deep gaze locked onto her as he asked, “What did you say to Felicia at the medical center today?”

Her heart skipped a beat.

How did he know about this?

She felt nervous, not knowing how to cover up her actions.

If she lied, he might catch her in the act! But if she told the truth… That would be even worse!

The only option was to tell a half–truth that would sound believable.

Johanna’s eyes flickered briefly before she found a response. With a quivering voice, she said, Stephan, I found something you threw out from your study in the trash can! You already knew who the person who killed Archie was, so why haven’t you avenged him?”

Tears welled in her eyes, and she choked up as she continued, “I wanted to avenge him, so I found Ms. Fuller to get more information about the Fuller family, but unexpectedly, she kicked me out…”

His expression darkened.

No wonder Felicia had spoken so mockingly, saying that if he wanted to go after the Fuller family, she wouldn’t stop him or be able to.

It turned out that Johanna had gone to her, making her think he was planning to target the Fuller family and deliberately had Johanna inform her.

He was speechless.

He pressed a hand to his throbbing brow and asked again, “Did you tell Imogen about this?”

“No, I couldn’t let her know about this. She’s pregnant, and her condition is unstable. She needs to rest…”

Fortunately, she hadn’t.

Stephan suppressed his irritation and said slowly, “The clues you’ve found are incomplete. I will avenge Archie, but as for the Fuller family… They may not be the culprits.”
